However weird, you have to respect the patient's beliefs as long as they aren't putting the newborn at harm. In these types of questions you have to build patient-physician relationships because the patient might become offended if you disregard their beliefs. So while the newborn most likely has gas and not "the evil eye", choice E is the least "offending" answer that suggests treatment.

charcot_bouchard Exactly. If she was cracking the egg on Baby's head u stop her lol (i am cracking up on my own jokes) +
